HIGH EYE SIGNS MULTI-YEAR CONTRACT WITH UAV NAVIGATION
Dordrecht, The Netherlands, 28 October 2021 – High Eye, the manufacturer that produces the Long-Range VTOL UAV called the Airboxer®, signed a multi-year contract with UAV Navigation.
The agreement includes the VECTOR-600 premium autopilot that meets ISO 9001:2015 standards and which is compliant with MIL-STD-810F (vibration, acceleration, humidity, rain, temperature, etc.) and with MIL-STD 461F (EMI).
“At UAV Navigation, we are very proud to be part and parcel of the Airboxer®, which is, in fact, a class on its own. Knowing High Eye very well, we must say that we are highly impressed by the level of engineering, its testing capabilities, and its quality commitment. But most of all, we admire the commitment and the dedication of the High Eye team to invest more than eight years in the development of the Airboxer®.”, says Tobias, CEO of UAV Navigation.
The Airboxer® is a Long-Range VTOL UAV that meets the demanding STANAG 4738 standards (NATO). It flies on heavy fuel (Jet A1), and it is capable of hovering for hours. It has created its own niche, placed between the short endurance electric drones and the much larger VTOL UAV systems.
“We have been working with UAV Navigation for more than eight years, and we have always been happy with this partnership. The dedication and passion for its products and for aviation in general, its service level, combined with the will to keep on learning and developing, makes UAV Navigation the perfect match for High Eye. I am convinced that this partnership will continue to deliver growth in quantity and quality for years to come”, says Joost de Ruiter, CEO of High Eye.
